why inspect your rooftop?

ENforce warranties on new installations

Flat rooftops are a common point of failure within building systems with an estimated 40% of new rooftop installations developing problems within their first year of service. This equates to billions of dollars lost every year nationally due to premature roofing failures. Additionally, a large majority of these failures are caused by poor craftsmanship which should be paid for by the contractor through their warranty (typically 1 year warranty period). However, most warranties are not exercised because the failure wasn’t detected within the warranty period leaving the owner with an average of $8 - $10 per sqft in rooftop replacement costs.

Locate moisture intrusion & maximize lifespan

Even for a rooftop that was installed correctly, without periodic inspections and a routine maintenance plan, the average lifespan of a rooftop is reduced to a mere 7 years.

Simply put, having a thermal inspection of your rooftop could save you thousands in replacement costs and extend your rooftop’s life expectancy to 15 + years.

With moisture being the primary cause of premature rooftop failures, it is important to track your rooftop over time to ensure any moisture that does make it through the membrane is identified and patched before further damage is caused inside the building.

Preventative maintenance (PM) rooftop tracking and reporting

With years of experience in the preventative maintenance field, we understand the challenges that building managers face daily. commercial buildings as well as residential buildings require a wealth of systems to operate efficiently in order for a building to maintain a healthy status. Many building systems such as heating and cooling systems require constant maintenance and repair while a building’s rooftop is often placed last on the list of priorities due to lack of information required to conduct routine maintenance and repairs. Simply walking over the rooftop will not uncover material degradations. You need thermal imaging from a high altitude perspective to get a comprehensive look at the rooftop’s overall health.
